...jury trial. One quarter of the country's juvenile court judges have had no legal training; lawyers appear in less than 5% of juvenile cases.

...adequate method of exempting required textbooks from the tax. The existing system of mimeographed forms signed by students and counter-signed by instructors is absurdly awkward. The forms insure that only "required" textbooks are exempted from the tax.

Only buildings owned by non-profit or limited dividend organizations (unions or churches, for example) would be subsidized. By thus supplementing its existing public housing...
